Abstract
This study examines the state of university libraries in Delhi, using descriptive research and in-depth interviews with seven central universities in the city. The descriptive research included respondents such as teachers, students, and other library users. The findings identify the challenges that library users’ encounter, including the prevalence of existing libraries, traditional facilities and services, and the implementation of new policies. The one-sample t-test results for digital technologies showed P>0.05, indicating that digitization in libraries has an impact.The study's findings clearly indicated that university libraries in NCR Delhi, which are housed within existing college buildings, contain obsolete resources that are randomly arranged, giving students and teachers negative attitudes toward libraries. There are no new collections or proper electronic systems in university libraries, which has created a slew of problems for professors and students who use libraries for study. As a result, the study stresses the value of accepting technical advances that can contribute to greater levels of success
Highlights
Educational institutions play a crucial role in society by educating future generations to use the expertise they have gained to perform their roles more effectively
Despite the fact that several trends emerged from the data collected, the current study focuses on the key topics related to university libraries in Delhi and how current users perceive such academic libraries
This study provides a solid basis for future research into university libraries, which is desperately needed
Summary
Educational institutions play a crucial role in society by educating future generations to use the expertise they have gained to perform their roles more effectively. The libraries of these institutions represent a wide range of people, such as students, faculty, administrators and staff with diverse information needs. These libraries gather a range of information sources and provide a variety of resources to support educational, research and learning programs. The importance of libraries in educational institutions is considerable and is seen as a centre of academic activity [1]. Academic libraries must boost the quality of their services in order to succeed in this volatile competitive environment [2]
